Import an API
This sample script imports an API and adds it to an API Management product.
Note
This article uses the Azure Az PowerShell module, which is the recommended PowerShell module for interacting with Azure. To get started with the Az PowerShell module, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.
Use Azure Cloud Shell
Azure hosts Azure Cloud Shell, an interactive shell environment that you can use through your browser. You can use either Bash or PowerShell with Cloud Shell to work with Azure services. You can use the Cloud Shell preinstalled commands to run the code in this article, without having to install anything on your local environment.
To start Azure Cloud Shell:
| Option | Example/Link |
|---|---|
| Select Try It in the upper-right corner of a code block. Selecting Try It doesn't automatically copy the code to Cloud Shell. | ![]() |
| Go to https://shell.azure.com, or select the Launch Cloud Shell button to open Cloud Shell in your browser. | ![]() |
| Select the Cloud Shell button on the menu bar at the upper right in the Azure portal. | ![]() |
To run the code in this article in Azure Cloud Shell:
Start Cloud Shell.
Select the Copy button on a code block to copy the code.
Paste the code into the Cloud Shell session by selecting Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows and Linux, or by selecting Cmd+Shift+V on macOS.
Select Enter to run the code.
If you choose to install and use the PowerShell locally, this tutorial requires the Azure PowerShell module version 1.0 or later. Run Get-Module -ListAvailable Az to find the version. If you need to upgrade, see Install Azure PowerShell module. If you are running PowerShell locally, you also need to run Connect-AzAccount to create a connection with Azure.

$random = (New-Guid).ToString().Substring(0,8)
#Azure specific details
$subscriptionId = "my-azure-subscription-id"

# Set the context to the subscription Id where the cluster will be created
Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId $subscriptionId
# Create a resource group.
New-AzResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName -Location $location
# Create the Api Management service. Since the SKU is not specified, it creates a service with Developer SKU.
New-AzApiManagement -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $apimServiceName -Location $location -Organization $organisation -AdminEmail $adminEmail
# Create the API Management context
$context = New-AzApiManagementContext -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -ServiceName $apimServiceName

$productName = "Pet Store Product"
$productDescription = "Product giving access to Petstore api"
$productState = "Published"
# Create a Product to publish the Imported Api. This creates a product with a limit of 10 Subscriptions
$product = New-AzApiManagementProduct -Context $context -Title $productName -Description $productDescription -State $productState -SubscriptionsLimit 10
# Add the petstore api to the published Product, so that it can be called in developer portal console
Add-AzApiManagementApiToProduct -Context $context -ProductId $product.ProductId -ApiId $api.ApiId
Clean up resources
When no longer needed, you can use the Remove-AzResourceGroup command to remove the resource group and all related resources.
Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name myResourceGroup
